The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the
air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases
the speed of defrosting. However, please note that the
temperature of the kitchen will influence the speed of
defrosting.
This function is particularly suitable for delicate food which
could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled gateaux,
iced cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast products.
How to Use Defrosting

Hints and Tips
Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic film to
prevent drying out during defrosting.
ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.
Frozen food should be placed in a single layer when
ever possible and turned over half way through the
defrosting process.
Only joints of meat and poultry up to 2 kg. (4 lb.) are
suitable for defrosting in this way.
Refer to the following table for approximate defrosting
times.
The times quoted in the chart should be used as a guide only, as the speed of defrosting will depend on the kitchen
temperature. For example, the colder the ambient temperature, the longer the defrosting time.
